One thing that struck me from
#TTG Ch3-4 is that other countries can teach a lesson completely different from the way we do and have higher success yet we still continue to focus on terminology and procedures. #edi331

For my week 2 choice workshop in #edi331, I explored different teaching and math hashtags on Twitter and found new ideas and interesting podcasts relating to teaching math!

I love the creativity behind this

Discussing some "if/then" conditional statements in #geometry, and we got a great playlist by asking students to find examples in a favorite song (submitted using @Desmos, naturally). #mtbos

I think this is a good reminder that everyone has different learning speeds and styles. It's our responsibility to work with and create lessons that fit with our students! #edi331

Has it ever bothered you the way some students are described as being "behind" their peers?

In our latest episode of BRIGHT, Kristi Peacock sheds light on why she disagrees with this one-size-fits-all thinking.

In Chapter 2 of Minds on Math, I learned that math students are never really taught how to go about problems that they get stuck on. However, there are many different strategies that can be taught to help them overcome this obstacle! #edi331

I have always struggled with the balance between productive struggling and having the students struggle to the point they want to give up. I learned that math workshops can be very helpful in getting students to work together and finding that balance. #edi331

#edi331 workshop complete! It was interesting learning how to use different forms of technology to start my teaching journey. I never thought I would have an educational Twitter or Blog!

By using Twitter
in @profjonh’s #edi331, I hope to
gain an insight into other teacher's ideas and teaching methods.
